UPDATE 4/11/09: We’re full!
Be an active participant in our one of a kind April 16th event.
Our expo is for recruiting, networking, and showcasing – all wrapped into one event! While the main priority of the expo is to facilitate and encourage relationships that further the educational and career advancement of the youth who attend, this will also be an opportunity for diverse groups to promote their work and share with one another.
The expo is for food, farming and active living groups interested in recruiting youth for:
- career-related opportunities, paid and unpaid;
- educational programs for high school, college and other (culinary, gardening, sports, health, nutrition);
- afterschool and community-based activities; and
- youth-led projects.
This expo is also for groups interested in recruiting mentors.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR TABLERS: The expo will take place on the day of the event, April 16, from the opening at 9 am until the beginning of the closing celebration at 4 pm. To cover rental and other costs, we are charging a nominal fee of $40 per expo table, which includes two adult admissions (normally $20 ea.). This fee is may be paid by card, check or money order via our registration process.
